Summary

Enter the Gungeon has a TrueGG Rating of 94.1%: the positive share among 1,107 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 20+ hours, close to Steam's overall 95.1%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 97.7%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 6% of the total, with 81% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

In the last 180 days, reviews at 2–5h are 80% positive versus 95% at 100–200h: the more people play, the more they like it.

Negative reviews most often mention boredom, pacing (less than at launch), and grind (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 94.4%, similar to all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (95.2% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Boring / repetitive, Movement & pacing, Grind). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you.
